Garmin MSC 10 Marine Satellite Compass - Accurate Heading and Boat Motion Data

MSC 10 Marine Satellite Compass

KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU'RE HEADED

Get reliable, accurate heading information with the easy-to-install GPS-based MSC 10 marine satellite compass.

Features:

• Accuracy comes easy when youve got a multi-band GNSS receiver on board.
• Faster updates. More detailed tracking.
• Rough waters got you worried MSC 10 delivers pitch, roll, and heave info, too.
• If other onboard systems need a heading sensor, weve got you covered.

MULTI-BAND GNSS AND MULTI-CONSTELLATION

The multi-band GNSS (L1 and L5 GPS) and multi-constellation (GPS, Galileo¹, GLONASS, and BeiDou1) receiver deliver precise positioning².

BOAT HEAVE AND MORE

Get reliable, accurate boat heave, pitch, and roll information even in rough waters.

BUILT-IN ATTITUDE HEADING REFERENCE SYSTEM (AHRS)

With a fully integrated attitude and heading reference system for better GPS heading at all speeds, including pitching in rough seas, taking sharp turns, or standing still.

ACCURATE HEADING DATA

Multiple receivers deliver heading accuracy within 2 degrees. Because it uses satellite signals, you dont have to worry about magnetic interference.

PRIMARY SENSOR ACROSS MULTIPLE SYSTEMS

You can use MSC 10 as the primary sensor for autopilots and other onboard systems that need accurate heading information.

NMEA 2000 NETWORK COMPATIBLE

Get heading, pitch, roll, and heave information delivered straight to your compatible Garmin chartplotter via the NMEA 2000 network.

EASY TO INSTALL

This compact device is simple to install and easily integrates into your Garmin marine ecosystem.

10 HZ UPDATE RATE

Get better, more detailed tracking information, thanks to the 10 Hz position update rate.

BACKUP HEADING SENSOR

In the extremely rare case that you lose a satellite signal, MSC 10 will seamlessly transition from GPS-based to magnetometer-based heading³.

The Garmin MSC 10 Marine Satellite Compass provides reliable, precise heading information for marine navigation, ensuring you always know exactly where you're headed. Its GPS-based system is easy to install and integrates seamlessly with your Garmin ecosystem, making it a dependable choice for both casual and professional mariners. The device features a multi-band GNSS receiver utilizing L1 and L5 GPS signals, along with multi-constellation support including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou, delivering accurate positioning within 1 meter CEP and less than 3 meters 95% confidence. This multi-constellation capability enhances positioning reliability even in challenging environments. The MSC 10 also supplies critical boat motion data—pitch, roll, and heave—allowing you to navigate safely through rough waters and turbulent seas.
The built-in Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) improves GPS heading accuracy at all speeds, including during sharp turns or pitching motions. Multiple satellite receivers enable the device to deliver heading data within 2 degrees, free from magnetic interference, which makes it suitable as a primary heading sensor for autopilots and other onboard navigation systems. With a high update rate of 10 Hz, the MSC 10 provides detailed and real-time tracking information, essential for precise navigation and maneuvering.
The device offers seamless transition to magnetic heading via a backup magnetometer in case satellite signals are temporarily lost, ensuring continuous heading data. The compact design simplifies installation and integration with NMEA 2000 networks, allowing for straightforward data sharing with compatible Garmin chartplotters and other marine electronics. Kit contents include a pole mount, mounting hardware, NMEA 2000 backbone/drop cable, T-connector, and comprehensive documentation, making setup quick and hassle-free. Whether navigating in open waters or in congested bays, the Garmin MSC 10 Marine Satellite Compass is an essential tool for accurate, dependable marine navigation and vessel control.
